Instead, they have a larynx that appears to play a role in sound production, as it has vocal folds (vocal "cord") homologs in the U-shaped fold supported by arytenoid cartilages. Whales do not have to exhale in order to produce sound, as they capture the air in a laryngeal sac.Whales make noise to communicate, locate food, and find each other. A humpback whale in the singing position. Whales are very social creatures that travel in groups called “pods.” They use a variety of noises to communicate and socialize with each other.Whales have vocal cords like us!
What makes them special is their ability to move air across their larynx, without losing oxygen underwater (remember humpback whales are mammals, not fish so they need oxygen from above the surface to breathe).
Do only male whales sing : While all humpback whales can vocalize, scientists believe only males sing, and their songs are most often heard in their breeding grounds. The second category, calls, includes all the non-song vocalizations that humpbacks make.
Can a whale sing
Humpback whales are known for their magical songs, which likely serve to communicate with others and attract potential mates. Scientists have long wondered how baleen whales can sing while holding their breath. That's because a whale's larynx both makes sound and closes off their airway so they don't drown.
Can you hear whales talk : The range of frequencies that whales use are from 30 Hertz (Hz) to about 8,000 Hz, (8 kHZ). Humans can only hear part of the whales' songs. We aren't able to hear the lowest of the whale frequencies. Humans hear low frequency sounds starting at about 100 Hz.
It is one of Earth's loudest sounds in the ocean: the “singing” of whales. Now scientists think they have an idea of how baleen whales do it. They say the large air-breathing sea animals use a special voice box that enables them to make sound underwater.
This is not for lack of effort: scientists have been studying different aspects of these songs for decades, leading them to develop some theories about what might motivate a whale to sing. Only male humpback whales sing, which suggests the song is likely a mating display similar to bird song.
How do whales talk
Researchers think they use high-pitched clicks, and deep booming sounds for different reasons like finding prey underwater or communicating. Whale sound facts: The loudest whale sounds are made by blue whales and are louder than a jet plane!The whale is particularly famous for its melodious songs that echo in a hauntingly beautiful manner. But the singing may serve as more than a recreational pastime and, perhaps, serve as a way to communicate with other whales many miles away.Only male humpbacks learn songs, a fact that long suggested they do it to court females. "But I think they're the ones who learn songs because they're the ones who go and search for mates, while females are the ones who wait to get found," Mercado told LiveScience.
And they say this is just the beginning we said hi hi. Hi you know next time you want to say how are you uh what's up. Any good fish whatever. In other words more of a vocabulary.
Do whales have a language : Their young babble much like human infants, some are believed to have names, and groups from different parts of the ocean have regional dialects. Whales have been heard mimicking the dialects of foreign groups – and some are even thought to have given human language a shot.
Which whale can sing : Various baleen whales moan, but only the males of a few species really sing well: humpback, minke, some blue and fin whales, and the more distantly related bowhead whales. These creatures are often huge and protected, so they aren't the easiest animals to observe (or dissect).
Why can’t we hear whale songs
They are one of the loudest animals on the planet, but they vocalize in the infrasonic frequency range (too low for humans to hear). But the cool thing about blue whales is that recorders can pick them up hundreds of miles away from where the animal is vocalizing.

Whale sound facts: The loudest whale sounds are made by blue whales and are louder than a jet plane!
Do whales have a song : The ocean is a vast, open space, so to communicate underwater, it's best that your message travels far. Sound travels four times faster in water than in air, so many animals use this to their advantage. The whale is particularly famous for its melodious songs that echo in a hauntingly beautiful manner.
